Yumi’s Cells Finishes 14-episode Run with Thoughtful and Realistic Ending as tvN Confirms Production on Season 2 for 2022

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 13, 2021 by ockoalaNovember 12, 2021
Scenes from an animated show and live-action.

Sorry this final wrap up of tvN romance and life drama Yumi’s Cells is two weeks late, October into November was a wild month for me with a two week quarantine in a hotel to go see my parents in Asia (you can guess which country lol) and then rushing back four days later so lots of loopy craziness. After … Continue reading →

Squid Game and then D.P. Selected by Joynews Insider Poll of Best Streaming Shows of 2021

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 5, 2021 by ockoalaNovember 5, 2021
Person intensely inspecting cookie piece.

Looks like the Joynews Best Of insider poll this year has split the television programs with the streaming only programs. That’s fine though it would be interesting to see the same program stacking up against each other since where it aired doesn’t matter as to quality. The entertainment industry group selected Netflix drama Squid Game with 120 runaway votes as … Continue reading →

Yumi’s Cells Episodes 11-12 Explore Sweet Cohabitation and Set Up Yumi and Woong Needing to Decide on Their Future Together

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 27, 2021 by ockoalaOctober 30, 2021
Three scenes featuring young characters outdoors.

This coming weekend is the finale of Yumi’s Cells, it’s a bit short with the drama ending on episode 14 but the original production intended for the drama to be multi-seasons to coincide with the webtoon. Whether that will happen has not been announced as the drama has been getting mid-2% ratings, not the success tvN would have liked to … Continue reading →

Yumi’s Cells Challenges Yumi to New Behaviors and Revives Old Dreams in Episodes 9-10 as the Relationship with Woong Balances Between Sweet and Precarious

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 17, 2021 by ockoalaOctober 17, 2021
Romantic moments between two characters.

When I watch Yumi’s Cells I enjoy nearly all of it, but when there are no new episodes I’m not anxiously waiting. I guess it mirrors Yumi’s overall mentality, she puts her all into her life (work, love) but with the things not there she’s not fretting about it. Episodes 9-10 were this past weekend and it wasn’t the relationship … Continue reading →

K-netizens Enjoying the Arrival of Jinyoung as the Second Boyfriend Babi in Yumi’s Cells and Look Forward to the Casting of the Right Actor for the Third Boyfriend/Husband Character of Soonrok

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 12, 2021 by ockoalaOctober 12, 2021
Three scenes featuring young characters outdoors.

I don’t know if its the webtoon for creating such a believable and workable romance journey (I read only the first twenty chapters) or the drama for hitting a home run on the casting and directing, but everything about Yumi’s Cells is working for me and keeps getting better. I thought I was Team Woong forever since his adorkable hotness … Continue reading →

Yumi’s Cells Smooths Out in Episodes 3-4 as the Kind and Considerate Budding Romance Elicits Smiles From the Viewers and Cells Alike

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 27, 2021 by ockoalaSeptember 26, 2021
Collage of animated characters and live-action scenes.

I’m so glad other readers suggested I stick with Yumi’s Cells after the tonally disparate first episode, saying the second episode gets a lot better. It did, and now I can say episodes 3-4 gets even way better. The story is really such a small circle of Yumi and the men in her life, first her small crush on her … Continue reading →

TVing Showcases the Most Active of Yumi’s Cells in Adorable Cute Stills

A couple sitting with cartoon characters on couch.

While I’m glad the cells are getting their spotlight in the upcoming tvN adaptation of popular webtoon Yumi’s Cells, I hope their charm doesn’t undercut the live action leads and the story proper. When I read first few chapters of the webtoon, honestly I was totally adoring the cells scenes and less so the ones with Yumi, despite the two … Continue reading →

Kim Go Eun and Ahn Bo Hyun are as Animated as Their Emotion Avatars in New Character Posters for tvN Drama Yumi’s Cells

Choosing a color palette for a drama poster should be as important as the styling of the images. The turquoise blue backdrops of the posters for Yumi’s Cells is both striking and soothing, honestly since it’s come out I’ve grown more positive and less apprehensive on this drama. The latest set features Kim Go Eun and Ahn Bo Hyun solo … Continue reading →

Yumi’s Cells Gets Excited for a Potential Romantic Night for Yumi in Second Charming Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 25, 2021 by ockoalaAugust 25, 2021
Promotional scenes from a TV show.

The live-action part of upcoming K-drama Yumi’s Cells really does overcome the lackluster visuals in the promo stills and poster, once leads Kim Go Eun and Ahn Bo Hyun are onscreen then their characters look less awkwardly styled and more quirky fashion sense. I think it’s because their natural attractiveness and ability to act comes to the forefront and viewers … Continue reading →

First Teaser for Yumi’s Cells is Adorable and Charming as the Cells Cheer on Kim Go Eun’s Yumi Preparing for a Date

Animated characters interacting with a cheerful woman.

Okay, this looks soooooo cute, just like I envisioned when I read the webtoon. And it works even if female lead Kim Go Eun is not the live action personification of the petite and shyer Yumi from the story Yumi’s Cells. The moment we see her various cells in action it just brings the story to life and makes viewer … Continue reading →

Smiling woman with colorful event poster background.

When novels and mangas are ones first love, I’ve lived through countless visual adaptations whether movies or dramas and the reaction from myself as a book fan is first and foremost, does this actor/actress fit the role as described in the words and pictures of the pages. I know we’re in the world of constant revision, where if a character … Continue reading →

First Official Stills of Kim Go Eun in the K-drama Adaptation of Popular Webtoon Yumi’s Cells

Filming scene with actors in urban setting.

I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the first chapters of webtoon Yumi’s Cells, which I checked out when I heard it was getting a K-drama adaptation. There are so many webtoons out there that I don’t have time to wade through the detritus but the ones that get drama versions are usually pretty good. The unfortunate shades to the concept … Continue reading →
